I broke down and decided to order a new outboard instead of buying a used one. It is just too much of a nightmare to mess with outboard to get them to work. I ordered from a place called Boats Unlimited in NY so I didnt have to pay taxes. Shipping is only 28 bucks. The total came out to be $1278. Add that on to the ongoing tally. Starting to be expensive…

Update (April 4th 2006): I canceled the order from them and decided to get one from OnlineOutboards.com. They price matched and have it in stock. BoatsUnlimitedNY.com has very poort customer service and was not a good place to deal with. View details
